MEMORANDUM FROM: Ronald Shafer, Chief Policy and Guidance Section
TO: John Dale This is in response to your May 9, 1988, memorandum to Sally Farrell which requested assistance in determining whether to regard emissions from rocket nozzles as fugitive or point sources. We have consulted with the New Source Review Section in the Air Quality Management Division, and both sections agree that emissions from rocket nozzles are point sources. Fugitive emissions are defined as "...those emissions which could not reasonably pass through a stack, chimney, vent, or other functionally equivalent opening." The nozzle of the rocket would be considered a vent or functionally equivalent opening. Therefore, emissions from rocket firing should not be considered fugitive emissions. If you have any questions, Please contact Sally Farrell at FTS-382- 2875.
